I killed the axe guy he's easy to bea just run around him and shotty him or go onto a building and fire on him from there. The chainsaw boss on the other hand was too hard to beat.

I'd give it a 7 out of 10. While the gameplay is really cool, I miss the REAL zombies from the other Resident Evil games. These zombies (in 4 and 5) are borderline aliens... and shooting them in the head is actually a bad thing... not the kind of zombies I remember from childhood!

three hand gun shots to the face will cause him to stagger, run up to him and punch him rinse and repeat :)

Thanks. I kept shooting the exploding barrels and when he fell I chucked grenades and ran back and repeated and I kept dying.

Huh, really? I Shot every bullet into the chainsaw guy, shot every explosive barrel by him, hit him with every granade, still couldn't kill him. I didn't even try to kill the executioner.

So, you gave it a bad rating for being too hard and "repetitive?" What exactly is "repetitive" in your sense of a game then?

I agree it wasn't fun and everything was really slow and the aiming on the guns were retarted and not to add the gay shooting you have to stop everytime your shootin. Everytime in those type of guns i want to run gun. Just not my type of game i guess.

The executioner is surprisingly easier to kill but theres a stratedgy to kill the chainsaw guy look in the previous posts.

shotgun does the trick. Only time I died was the first play through of the second level. After I just turned my faulty 360 off because I didnt feel like finishing the demo >_>

yeah when I first heard of it I thought it would suck the fun out of it. So today I decided to play it online and it was a blast :P so much fun (though the guy I played with was kind of getting the handle of the game) I had to revive him three times then he got kill by the executioner :o

The demo was pretty much what I expected all along.

It has that RE4 feel even though the controls take getting used to. I like that there is a "lack" of ammo. It means that you can't plow your way through hordes and have to stun enemies to melee them (all you have to use is one bullet to kill an enemy)

Overall, the demo was pretty good. Controls are kind of wierd but you can get used to them. Single player is significantly harder than co-op due to the lacking AI support from Shiva.

As for the chainsaw guy being impossible to beat; here is what I did:

1) take your rifle out and shoot his head once to make him kneel.

2) Run up and punch then go back to same spot and repeat.

3) If he gets close go all the way to the back, take aim at the red barrel he's next to and shoot to make him kneel. Run up and punch him.

At this point I kept running in circles between the house and narrow path way leading the chainsaw guy towards the barrels. Once the barrels were gone, I used grenades and rifle headshots to make him kneel. The smg works well if you are not too good at aiming.

Thats pretty much how I got him down. Hope it helps. :)

I give RE5 demo an 8.8/10

the only thing I didn't like is YOU CAN'T MOVE WHILE SHOOTING. That to me is almost like cheating or something... So they are free to run at me and all of that but I can only aim and stand in one place??? Or else run to get some distance and stand in one place again? How real is that? Yes, I know older games were that way but we are in a new gen now... let me at least walk or roll or something while aiming...

Yep the demo was garbage, thanks CAPCOM, won't be spending my money now since I can't move AND shoot at the same time. I've never seen a hardcore military person in any game that can't do 2 things at once. Better graphics does not equal a sequel, sorry. .

You obviously have never played any Resident Evil game before.

Its done that way because you are not supposed to tank your way through ambushes.

I agree. You just have to play close attention to defeat both bosses. Most Resident Evil fans are use to pausing the game then selecting their weapons, here you can do so during game play, most doesn't like that feature to much. I think the demo was AWESOME. :)

I didn't like it either. I am new to RE so maybe it's just not my cup of tea, but I hated the fact you couldn't move while aiming or reloading (you couldn't even move with a knife equipped WTF) and I really hate the controls. I also thought the demo was too hard and it wasn't even scary at all. The co-op isn't even that good and there isn't NEARLY enough ammo. Zombie games are supposed to be about killing hordes of zombies with a shot-gun and watching the guts fly everywhere, so why can't I do that in the supposed king of zombie games? I would agree with a 6 out of ten for the demo, I'm definately not getting RE5.

So, pretty much everyone who hated it has never played RE4, let alone another RE. I guess that's understandable.

RE4 and RE5 are Action/Survival/Horror game, you're supposed to keep surviving by the skin of your teeth. Giving you more ammo or letting you move while shooting would cause it to lose what makes it exciting. That being said, playing it single player was pretty lacking, but offline co-op was a blast! Me and my friend played through both sections twice. I was worried about how much it shared with RE4, but the fact that it moves much faster than 4, and has co-op really give it legs.

In all the years i've played video games, i never thought that "hard" would equal to bad, unless it's frustrating like K&L: Dead Men, where the gameplay just doesn't lets you do what the developers wanted. if you find a game hard, get better at it, end of the story.

I think only one person said that. I used to be a huge fan of the Resident Evil series back when it actually was a survival/horror game. Now it's just a straight up 3rd person shooter with poor controls.

so many new comers to the RE series. its kinda sad to see such a great series overlooked for so longed and the picked up because everyone esle is getting it. And thats what everyone complaining about not being able to move and shoot at the same time is doing. Thats never been possible in past games and so im glad its not now. wouldnt have been a RE if it did allow that. and moving wouldnt have made it more fun or given the player more options or playability. it would have just made it easier to play it like every other game out there. and for it not improving much since RE4 lets look at it from what we know and not what your guessing.

1. new story= upgrade

2. vastly improved graphics= upgrade

3. gameplay mechanics+co-op integrated smoothly= upgrade

4. deadlier foes and harder bosses= upgrade

5. and last but not least the return of Wesker= ULTIMATE UPGRADE

and since thats all we know, including everyone on this site. it looks like its chapping up to be a very nice sequel

6 out of 10 just because it is hard? So what, if it was easy it would suck even more. You need some challenge at least.

I like everything about the game except for the lack of an ability to move while shooting. with that many quick moving zombies at once, sitting still while sluggishly firing rounds just doesn't really scream "genius idea" to me. However, the graphics, coop and everything else ive seen so far are stellar

I agree. Not being able to move and shoot is just dumb, even if it was this way in the older RE games. It's a new gen now... we should at least be able to walk and aim or roll away or something. I think just that alone kills the gameplay and makes me not want to buy it.

Meh. I'm still excited for this game. I felt RE4 was really hard at first, and that it was a bit dull. But after an hour or two I began to love it. One of my favorite games to date. I expect I'll have similar feelings with RE5. I still really wanna play the demo, but my 360 is broken and I won't be getting it back til later this week (hopefully)

i'd give the demo a 4/10 simply because of atrocious controls.
